MARKETNG 3505 - Management of Brands III

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2015

A company's brand will often be amongst the most valuable of their assets. Even startup companies and individuals need to be conscious of what their brand stands for. The "Brand Manager" in a large company is responsible for the maintaining and growing the value of the company's brand. This course prepares student for this role, for "products" that may be a good or a service, a tangible or an intangible. Industry standard brand metrics are used as an introduction to practical measurement and management and the course advances to the theory of brand equity, points of parity and points of difference. Brand co-creation is explored, with particular reference to social media marketing such as Facebook, Twitter and Blogs. The leveraging of brand equity into brand extensions (as with Virgin) is evaluated as a form of growth strategy.

    Assessment Detail
    The assessment components are as follows.


    Case Study Quiz                      20%
    Due Date: April 28, 2015 – in tutorial

    A case study will be handed out in tutorials held on April 7, 2015 and it will be posted on MyUni after that date. The quiz pertaining to the case study will be conducted in tutorials on April 28, 2015 and will be different for each tutorial group due to time differences of the tutorials throughout the day.

    Brand Development Project     30%
    Due Date: Snap Shot on May 26, 2015 (5%), Video presentation recording during the tutorial of June 2, 2015 (25%).

    This is a group assignment (maximum of 5 people per group). The group is tasked with developing an original brand for a product or service. This will include (among other things) identity, brand elements, target audience, position and product value. More information on this will be provided in lectures and tutorials. The overall project is assessed in 2 parts:

    1.      
    ‘Snap Shot’ 5 minute per group presentation will provide a very ‘short, sharp and shiny’ overview of the brand that you have created. You are restricted to 3 slides! It is permissible for only 1 member of the group to present – all group members will get the same grade (5%).

    2.      
    Video Recording of a 15-minute presentation that provides a succinct but comprehensive overview of your brand. This should include each member of your group. No group member can be allocated a mark for this if they are not present. In conjunction with the submission of your recording (video with audio), you must also provide a copy of your PowerPoint presentation so we can view both simultaneously when assessing your work (25%).

    Tutorial Participation   10%

    A mark is awarded for tutorial participation and attendance. Students are required to not only attend tutorials but to read and be prepared for case study discussions, and to take an active part.

    Final Examination (TBA)          40%

    Information regarding the exam format will be provided during lectures and tutorials on June 2, 2015.

    Submission
    Extensions to the due date of individual assessment may be granted under special circumstances. An extension request based on
    illness or on exceptional personal circumstances must include the "Supporting Statement / Certification Form" at:

    Students applying for an extension based on medical reasons must visit their medical practitioner, with that approved 最新糖心Vlog
    form, and have the medical practitioner complete it.   A normal doctor's certificate will not be accepted. For supplementary examination on compassionate grounds refer to:
    /Medical_Compassionate_Application_Form_-_12_June_2013.pdf

    Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process. Marks may be deducted because of poor hand-writing.

    Assignment Guidelines including Referencing Details

    A copy of the Postgraduate Programs: Communication Skills Guide will have been given to you at the beginning of your program.  This guide will assist you structure your assignments.  A copy of the guide can also be downloaded from

    This publication also provides guidelines on a range of other important communication skills including writing essays and management reports, making oral presentations etc. In preparing any written piece of assessment for your undergraduate studies it is important to draw on the relevant ‘literature’ to support critical analysis. Also essential is to reference the literature used.
    Correct referencing is important because it identifies the source of the ideas and arguments that you present, and sometimes the source of the actual words you use, and helps to avoid the problem of plagiarism.
     
    Further assistance with referencing is available from the Faculty’s Learning Support Advisors. The contact details are provided in the Communication Skills Guide.
     
    Late Assignment Submission
    Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system.  Extensions will generally only
    be given for medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer in charge of the course before the due date using the appropriate university form. Each request will be assessed on its merits. No extensions will be awarded for group work. A late assignment where no extension has been granted will be penalised by a reduction of 10% of the mark given for each day, or part of a day, that it is late.

    Return of Assignments

    Lecturers/Tutors aim to mark and return assignments to students within two (2) weeks of the due date with written feedback.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
